Signs of infestation
✓ Scratching in the attic or walls at night
✓ Droppings in the garage, attic or pantry
✓ Gnawed wires, boxes or food packaging
✓ Grease marks along walls and rafters
Risks
Rodents contaminate food, chew wiring (a fire risk) and can carry diseases. Their nests also ruin attic insulation.
Prevention tips
✓ Trim tree limbs 6–8 feet back from the roof
✓ Pick up fallen fruit and store pet food in sealed bins
✓ Close gaps around AC lines and soffits
✓ Keep garage doors closed at night
How we treat
Inspection first, then trapping with scheduled checks and exclusion: we seal entry points with rodent-proof materials so new rodents can’t move in.
